Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with an unaffiliated third party to purchase a Capesize vessel.
The vessel was built in 2010 at a reputable shipyard in Japan, has a cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 181 500 DWT and will be renamed M/V Dukeship. The M/V Dukeship is expected to be delivered within November 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. Following her delivery, Seanergy’s fleet will increase to 17 Capesize vessels with an aggregate cargo capacity exceeding 3 million DWT.
The vessel is fitted with a ballast water treatment system, while the special survey was recently completed by the current owner and, therefore, the company does not anticipate incurring any significant off-hire or capital expenditures for this vessel for the next two years.
